In metro Phoenix, the word “summer” instills dread in the hearts of residents. It’s an ogre of a season. But it doesn’t have to be that way, thanks to Arizona’s endless diversity. Higher elevations are never far. And as we all know, the higher the elevation, the lower the temperature. Plan some escapes from the sweaty clutches of the desert so that you can remember again the fun and freedom that summer brings. Make this a summer to remember, for all the right reasons.

The event features a car show, parade and festivities along the route. It is one of Arizona’s most iconic images — like the Grand Canyon or a grove of saguaros at sunset.
